Brazil is famous gay-friendly destination with its not only wide range of tourists attractions, like, beaches, sightseeing, cuisine, but rare one - medical tourism.
In 2009 ISAPS (International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery) put Brazil on 3rd position in the list of countries with the most surgical and non surgical cosmetic procedures. Generally in Brazil around 630 thousand of plastic surgeries are performed per year! Starting since 1997 some members of ISAPS are coming to Brazil to know about new techniques and innovations.
Reading this post you' re probably asking why travel to Brazil for it? We answer your question with 3 main points: different attitude to surgeries, new technologies, rehabilitation period on the ocean coast.
1). Different attitude to surgeries.
It's amazing, but Brazilians in general have positive attitude to surgeries; add volume to lips, correct shape of nose or ears, make boobs bigger using implants, here it's as widespread and common as haircut or manicure. How it can be explained? With culture. It's not a secret that Brazilians are famous with their perfect hot bodies, during summer you don't need to buy a magazine, just look around and enjoy. Hot tropical weather push you to use less cloth possible, so to have something to show you need to keep fit. Probably this intention to look perfect influence on decision about surgeries. Big demand on this kind of service made it very common for doctors and created significant number of good quality specialists and clinics.
Different attitude to surgeries here you can see among doctors also. Some American and European surges from ISASP admit that Brazilian specialist consider plastic surgery as an art, meanwhile Americans look to it from technical point of view. Discussing your choice and planning a procedure they pay more attention to esthetic beauty and your image then numbers and stereotypes.
2)New technologies.
Sophia Loren and Gina Lollobrigida came here to have cosmetic surgeries in 1960 in the hospital of Rio de Janeiro! In that time Brazil already had a suitable level of medicine to compete with USA and Europe. Increasing demand on plastic surgeries influenced on innovation sphere; to handle the competition clinics need to have some key factors to attract clients. Brazilian doctors are recognized worldwide and you can see some of them in any international innovation researches and projects. Here you can find various types of implants, cosmetic brands and methods. Brazil is one of few countries that started to use Lasik methods for vision correction. And the greatest thing is that you don't need to take a huge loan in a bank or save unreal sum of money, cause plastic surgeries in Brazil are considered as one of the most affordable in the world, due to currency exchange rates.
3) Rehabilitation on the ocean coast.
One of the problems why it's difficult to make a decision about plastic surgery is worries about rehabilitation period: where to stay, how long it will last, etc. Brazil has a wide range of resorts close to the beach, in remote area or close to the city center, whatever you want. Good climate, sound of ocean waves, fresh fruits - all you need for fast recovery. We recommend you to choose clinic in such cities as Rio de Janeiro, Florianopolis or Fortaleza. Florianopolis recently was called the city with the best quality of plastic surgeries, plus to all it has 42 beaches to choose where you will relax after. The best period to come is from April to November, cause temperature here is not so high (especially during winter season from June to September), consider that you'll have to avoid sunlights after surgery, plus to all there are not so many tourists, beaches are almost empty and prices are lower.
So, we hope these reasons are enough to answer you question. And in the end there are few more tips, if you decide to come to Brazil for medical tourism.
1)Once you choose a doctor and clinic, check if he/she is the member of Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery - the best way to check qualification.
2)It's much more comfortable and safe to use services of tourist agencies specializing in medical tourism.
3)Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, without doubts, have the biggest number of plastic surgeons, but don't ignore some other options as Florianopolis, Porto Alegre, Belo Horizonte, they also have good specialist and prices can be cheaper.
